How I Created HTTP Prompt and Got 5000+ Stars on GitHub

Two months ago, I published an open source project, which went viral by gaining 1200+ stars in the first 24 hours. As of this writing, it has attracted 5000+ stars. The project is called HTTP Prompt:

https://github.com/eliangcs/http-prompt

Here I want to share its development story.

It all began with Vertica. Not long ago, I used Vertica every day for my work. Vertica is a powerful database, but the official client (vsql) is not powerful at all. The GUI alternative, DbVisualizer, is bad as well.

Before running this notebook, run:

pip3 install jupyter SQLAlchemy psycopg2

This will install the notebook server and database drivers needed to run these examples. For more information on installing Jupyter (formerly IPython notebook) see their install guide.

Once you've installed the dependencies, run jupyter notebook and it will open your web browser to the notebook's main page. Then upload this notebook (SQLTest.ipynb) and run it.
